Pre-Employment Screening
Veris helps employers verify candidate identity, credentials, employment history and integrity indicators before hiring. Our screening is consent-based, legally compliant and calibrated to the role, jurisdiction and risk profile involved.
Discuss Your RequirementsScreening that reduces hiring risk, not paperwork
Hiring the wrong person is one of the costliest risks an organisation can face. Veris helps organisations reduce that risk through clear, factual, consent-based pre-employment screening, giving you confidence at every stage of the hiring decision.
Pre-employment screening — also referred to as employee background checks — goes beyond CVs and interviews. It verifies credentials, uncovers inconsistencies, and identifies potential red flags before an offer is made.
Our screening operations are led by practitioners with more than a decade in global screening organisations, and every report passes internal quality control before release.
- Confirm that a candidate is who they claim to be.
- Verify education, employment and professional qualifications.
- Identify relevant integrity or reputational indicators.
- Reduce hiring, fraud and compliance risk.
- Apply consistent screening standards across roles and jurisdictions.
Three checks, calibrated to the role
Every engagement draws on the same three categories, scoped to the seniority, sensitivity and jurisdiction of the role.
Identity verification →
Confirms a candidate's identity and personal details, ensuring the individual being screened is the same person presenting themselves for employment.
Credential verification →
Validates a candidate's education, professional qualifications and employment history, confirming that qualifications and experience are accurate and genuine.
Integrity checks →
Identifies potentially adverse information such as criminal records, litigation history, sanctions exposure or other integrity-related concerns that may affect suitability for a role.
A screening practice built on scale and consistency
Every check runs on the candidate's consent
All pre-employment screening conducted by Veris is performed with the candidate's written consent, independently of the hiring decision, and progress is tracked in real time through VERISChecks.
This engagement sits within the wider Veris employee screening practice, alongside identity checks, credential checks and integrity checks.
What consent supports
- Transparency and fairness toward the candidate
- Discourages misrepresentation or overstated credentials
- Compliance with applicable data-protection law, including Singapore's PDPA and Indonesia's PDP Law
